L known that we, JOHN GIMWIAN and 'l-ullllljlli Grim-mu, citizens of theUnited States and residents or. Ottawa in o the countyee't tlalle andState of Illinois have invented certain new and useful lniprovenients inlle'vating App ratus, of which the li'illowiu is full, clear andUfitlfii; spec o I Uur invculioi concerned with elevating apparatus ofthe used in elevating till; etc, iroin w: into bins or cribs,

ill is more ly concerned with eleors at the cribcd w iich are laniancntly loci barns granariesl ware- 1 2-05: and the like; and isdesigned to simy and iru rro e such devices as have lUlllOi'i'O beenused.

lh'ior to our. iuvcntimi the practice has Another feature of ourinvention consists in providing such a structure as we have describedwith suitable connections with the power shall so that said pivotedlower end of the elevator trough. can he swung; up by power preparatoryto dumping another load, and automatically disconnected from the powershalt when it has reached the proper height.

To illustrate our invention, we annex hereto four sheets of drawings, inwhich the same reference characters are used lo designate identicalparts in all the figures, of which liigure l. is a side elevation of ourimproved apparatus with a wagon associated therewith in diriichargingposition; Fig. l is a view of the upper end of the elevator, not shownin Fig. l; l ig. a top plan so l n to have permanent elevator troughview, as seen on the line A A of Fig. l, wuih conveyor belts or chainstherein located and with the lower portion of the elevator at side ofthe driveway of a barn, and trough raised to its horizontal position;Fig. a cross conveyor ondrag was connected to 3 a side elevation of themechanism shown the iJOltOlTlflli the elevator which cross cou-- in Fig.Fig. l is an end elevation in secvcyer in use extended transv scly (itthe tion on the line, B--B 01?

i our invention. we nmterially simplify the driveways of l :rns,granaries. etc, the floor ofwhich is indicated at 10, and 11 in dicatosthe second floor of the building" supported upon the customary joists12. The

K'IlHl lIHLFl'UYQ lhe above described device by elevator trough consistsof two sections. i :i-a line; the rim: tor p ri =!i a-ably directly 111The upper one ".3 may extend upward to any '1 he path oiitho \vauon'andhi1 ring its lower. portion. a, heigl'it above the top of a loaded.wagon. so that when said lower per-- lien is; w'ugi' up horizontally theWagon can be dri'veu directly beneath it into dump- -u' posiliim afterwhich said lower portion i wung down into operating position, in whichpositimi its boot, is beneath the rear desired height; and dischargeinto any sort; or" a horizontal conveying apparatus to distributcthegrain into the various bins or cribs. The lower portion 1 1 of thetrough is hinged to the upper portion in a manner which will bedescribed more in dcta'l sul sequently, Both portions of the trough arepreferably of the buokel-inclosin type and end of the wagon in positionto receive its provided with the partition 16 dividing; it

commits-as its front end is raised. In this into channels, although itwill be undermanucr. it; will be apparentthat. we. in our stood that,the trough may be merely a preferred construction. dispense with theframework as only the supporting traine- (ha r or cross conveyor andproduce a genwork for theelevating mechanism and the orally i jplerconstruction. boot cooperating witlrthe conveyor huckcis I at the bottomar'e essential. The grain is carried upward in one of these channels bythe conveyer buckets 17, which maybe of v any desired construction,which are supported by some suitable conveyer belts or chains 18 in thecustomary manner, these being driven from the shaft 22, which carries onits inner end the-sprocket pinion 23 loosely Zmounted thereon, butprovidedwith the clutch member 24 on the hub which is adapted to beengaged with the clutch member 25 rigidly secured on the shaft 22 whenthe bell crank lever 26 is rocked in the properdirection. A sprocketchain 27 extends from the sp'. ocket wheel 23 to the hood 29 of thefelevator trough, where it engages the A sprocket wheel 30 secured ontheshaft- 31 suitably journaledin the sides of the hood 29. Inside ofthe hood at both ends of the shaft 31 are secured the large sprocketwheels 32, which are adapted to cooperate with the chains 18 previouslymentioned, which chains also extend around the smaller sprocket wheels33, suitably journaled in the boot of the elevator, for instance, bybein secured-on the shaft 34 journaled in sai boot. I

The discharge spout 35 is located to one side of the upper end of thetrough 13, and

the idle sprocket wheels 36 are journaled on the inner sides of. theupperend of the trough 13 in suitable position to coiiperate with thechains 18' to bring them back into line with the trough 13, the hood 29of which is, as will be seen, oiiset so as to bring the spout 35 to oneside of the trough 13. Inasmuch as the buckets 17 when moving slowly,might allow the grain to dribble out before they have reached the properposition to discharge into the spout 35, we secure between the pair ofsprocket wheels 32 on the shaft 31 the preferably metallic drum 37,which serves to vcarry any grain thus prematurel discharged from thebuckets 17 5 over into tie vertical plane of the spout'35.

The lower portion 14 of the trough may have pivoted thereto at 38 theboot extension or hopper 39, best shown in Fig. 5, where it will be seento consist of the base portion 40 having parallel sides 41 separated bya space slightlywider than the ends of the'largest wagon beds. Thesesides 41 are supplemented by the converging sides 42, which serve tobring the ends of the sides adjacent the sides of the narrower trough14, which is embraced by said sides 42. To

"prevent possible leakage of rain between the ends of the sides 42 anthe sides of the trough 14,:we secure to the inner faces 150 of thesides of the trough 14 and the sides 42 the flexible connecting strips43, which may be of leather, canvas, or some other suitable material.The trough 14 will, of course, be provided with the opening, shown inFig. 5, on the hopper side, and to draw the bottom 40 of the hopperagainst the bottom of the wagon bed 44, shown in Fig. 1, we preferablyemploy the helica'lly coiled} expanding springs 45 connected at theirends to the sides 41 of the hopper and to the outer sides of the trough14. lVhcn the hopper is swung into position underneath the end of thewagon bed before it is raised,

as indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 1, the

springs 45 serve to bring the hopper up into engagement with the underside of the bed, and as the forward end of the wagon is lifted up by thedumping mechanism, and the rear end of the wagon bed is correspondinglylowered, the springs 45 will yield, as shown in full lines in Fig. 1, toaccommodate the movement of the wagon, so that-its. contents are slowlydischarged into the lower end of the elevator trough, -whence they areconveyed upward by the buckets 17 and dis- 35 charged through the spout35 in the customary manner. When the lower portion 14 of the trough isto be swung up out of the way,

as indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 1 and as shown in full lines inFigs. 2 and 3, the hopper 39 is held folded up against the trough 14, asshown in dotted lines in Fig.

5, by any suitable means, such as the turnbutton 46 pivoted on'thetrough 14 and co-;

operating with the outer edge of the hop. ()5

per 39.

As heretofore stated, the lower troughsection 14 is pivoted to the upperormain portion 13 at 15, and this pivotal joint 15 v is at a.sufiicient. height so that when the lower portion 14 is swung up intothe dottedline position shown in Fig. 1, the height of the portion 14above the floor 10 is great enough so that the loaded wagon can bedriven directly beneath the thus raised 1oz,

trough 14 and boot .39.. When the wagon has been driven forward past theelevator to the position shown in dotted lines in Fig.

1, where it is ready to be acted upon by means of the dump mechanism 47,which may be of any desired construction and which is actuated by theshaft 19, connected to the shaft 22 by themiter gears 20 and 21,

the lower portion 14 of the elevator trough n can be swung down into thefuIl-line'position shown in Fig. 1, and thus operatedto discharge thecontents of the wagon in the manner heretofore described. To ,hold thelower portion 14 in its operating position,

we preferably provide the stop 48 on the floor 10 and have cooperating trewith the locking bar 49 assing through the staple 50 on the side 0 thetrough portion 14 and pivotally secured at its upper end to the lever51, pivoted to the side of the trough at 52. Ne preferably hold thelever with the bar 49 in its unlocked position by means of the helicallycoiled contractile spring 53 interposed between the trough 14 and thelever 51, as shown. The lever 51 maybe or the other or a pair ofapertures .lllli provided with a catch lever thereon and adapter tocooperate with the lever in its locking or unlocking posh tion, as maybe desired. 'fllhis lever-5i. is preferably connected by a link 56 withthe short horizontal arm of ti e bell crank lever 26 journeletl. on thehi 'aelret 57, which suitably supported-l on the trough 12?. This bellcrank lever has elon ted El the forked upper end ther or, anal suitablepins or hearing blocks (10 cooperate in the customary manner with thehub of the sprocket wheel 23, so that by retiring the hel crank 2 thesprocl et Wheel 23 con be slid. burl; and forth to ige or (lie-eng ne":its clutch i'nernher Will. the clutch member 25 on the shaft g it epreferably provide means "for autoinatically reisinr; the lower portionLl oi the trough in; the power which may be uppliecl to the shaft- (31,driven from any suitable eource of power and hai ng thereon the sprocketWheel 62 connec by the sprocket chain 63 with the sprocket wheel securedon the ehelt 22.
